Gail (Cookie) McKnight James Kellett, died unexpectedly Monday, Dec. 4, 2017 at home in Brevard.

She met her husband of 52 years, James (Jim) W. Kellett, in 1961 at the Pavilion on Pawleys Island. They started their lives in Charleston, S.C. and after a brief move to Ft. Worth, settled in Mt. Pleasant on the marsh. A little more than a year ago they moved to the quieter life in the mountains of Brevard.
